Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrochemical sensors have become indispensable analytical tools in a wide range of applications, including environmental monitoring, clinical diagnostics, food safety, and industrial analysis. Their inherent advantages, such as high sensitivity, rapid response, and cost-effectiveness, have driven continuous research toward improving their performance. In particular, achieving high selectivity remains a central challenge in electrochemical sensing, requiring advanced material design and a deeper understanding of interfacial processes. Recently, symmetry-related concepts have emerged as an important factor in controlling molecular recognition, signal transduction, and sensor stability.
This Special Issue, entitled “Advanced Electrochemical Sensors: Design, Selectivity and Symmetry-Based Approaches”, aims to provide a comprehensive platform for presenting the latest advances in electrochemical sensing technologies. The scope is intentionally broad, covering various types of electrochemical sensors, including potentiometric, amperometric, voltammetric, and electrochemical biosensors, as well as wearable and portable sensing devices. Contributions focusing on innovative materials (such as nanomaterials and molecularly imprinted polymers), sensing mechanisms, and strategies for enhancing selectivity and performance are particularly encouraged.
For this Special Issue, we welcome the contribution of original research articles and review papers that address, but are not limited to, the design and fabrication of electrochemical sensors, selectivity enhancement strategies, symmetry-related effects in sensing systems, nanostructured materials, biointerfaces, and real-world applications in environmental and biomedical fields.
We warmly invite researchers to contribute their latest findings to this Special Issue.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
